2022 Tiger 1200GT / GT Pro - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: Peak output on the Tiger 1200GT / GT Pro is 148 hp @ 9,000 rpm and 130 Nm @ 7,000 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
-
⛽
Large fuel range: With a 20-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.
-
⚙️
Low-maintenance final drive: Shaft final drive is about as close to maintenance-free as motorcycle drivetrains get.
Considerations
-
📏
Tall seat height: A 850 - 870 mm seat puts flat-footing out of reach for a lot of riders - sit on it in person before committing.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
With Liquid-cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling on the Tiger 1200GT / GT Pro comes from Multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection with electronic throttle control. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.
Brake disc and pad wear
2 x 320 mm floating discs, Brembo M4.30 Stylema monoblock radial calipers, Magura HC1 span adjustable radial master cylinder with separate reservoir up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by Showa 49mm USD forks with semi-active damping up front and Showa monoshock with semi-active damping and automatic electronic preload adjustment at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Shaft final drive on the Tiger 1200GT / GT Pro removes chain and belt maintenance entirely - the trade-off is a little extra unsprung weight and periodic gear-oil changes.
Frame & chassis check
The Tubular steel frame, with forged aluminium outriggers. Fabricated, bolt-on aluminium rear subframe chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.
Handling the weight at a standstill
The Tiger 1200GT / GT Pro's GT: 240kg kerb weight is worth factoring into how you handle it at a standstill - parking-lot manoeuvres need a bit more deliberate technique than on a lighter machine.
Tiger 1200GT / GT Pro - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2022 Triumph Tiger 1200GT / GT Pro should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Tiger 1200GT / GT Pro settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a Tiger 1200GT / GT Pro's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Fuel system care
Injector systems like the Tiger 1200GT / GT Pro's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
